Long rushing score in relief Hammond completed 7 of 9 passes for 92 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 67-7 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff. He also had one rush for 64 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Hammond replaced Behren Morton who left in the second quarter with a low hit to his leg and led two scoring drives. He dazzled with a long 64-yard rushing score and also had a touchdown pass to freshman Leyton Stone. If Morton does end up having any recurring issues with the leg injury, Hammond could see some increased opportunity over the next couple of weeks. Texas Tech will play Kent State next week.

Tosses two picks Friday Hammond completed 20 of 34 passes for 280 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Friday's 39-26 defeat against Arkansas. He also had five rushes for 14 yards.

Impact Hammond, who spent most of the season as the Red Raiders' backup signal-caller, got the start in the bowl game due to the absence of Behren Morton (shoulder). Hammond did what he could under center, but the drop in quality was noticeable. It's unclear what kind of role Hammond will have in 2025 if he chooses to remain with Texas Tech.

Will start bowl game Hammond will be Texas Tech's starting quarterback for the 2024 Liberty Bowl against Arkansas on Friday, Don Williams of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.

Impact Behren Morton (shoulder) is out, so it makes sense for Texas Tech's team to go to its backup quarterback for the Liberty Bowl. This is a prime opportunity for Hammond to showcase his talent, though the chance will definitely be far from an easy one. Relatively speaking, Arkansas' team has yet to be significantly affected by portal entries or bowl outs, and the Red Raiders will be without top wideout Josh Kelly (pro draft prep).

Adds second rushing score Hammond completed 0 of 1 passes for zero yards during Saturday's 52-15 victory over West Virginia. He also had two rushes for eight yards with one touchdown.

Impact Hammond was able to record his second rushing score of the season in the blowout of West Virginia. Starter Behren Morton threw for over 300 yards in his fourth game this year, so it doesn't appear he is any danger of being replaced at this moment. Texas Tech will finish the year in a bowl game.

Two scores after injured starter Hammond completed 10 of 15 passes for 121 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 35-34 loss versus TCU. He also had eight rushes for 16 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Hammond played a critical stretch of the game after Behren Morton exited the game with what is believed to be a collarbone injury. Hammond also had a lost fumble which could have gone either way after replay review. With dual-threat ability, Hammond is an interesting prospect and is worth a stash for fantasy rosters in case he plays for the Red Raiders at Iowa State next week.

Receives first action at Texas Tech Hammond completed 5 of 7 passes for 70 yards during Saturday's 66-21 win against North Texas.

Impact Hammond, a true freshman, received his first game action at Texas Tech. Starter Behren Morton was fantastic against North Texas and only needed to play the first half. This allowed for the Red Raiders to get a look at their future prospects at quarterback. Texas Tech will play Arizona State next week.
